HOBART CITY COUNCIL
PROPOSED WIDENING OF ELPHINSTONE-ROAD. -
The usual fortnightly meeting of the City Council was held at the Council
chambers Town-hall last night ...
The Public Works Commiteee reported that the entrance from Elphinstone-road into Audley-road was very awkward and narrow, and negotiations had been entered into with the trustees of the estate of the late Thomas Scoles to acquire land for improving this condition of affairs. The trustees of the estate had now offered to sell the land for the sum of 50 pounds, condilionally that the Council re-erected the retaining wall, fences etc , and paid all costs. The committee recommended that the offer be accepted, and the improvement carried out.
Alderman Smith said that the traffic now was confined to a very narrow width of road, and the suggested improvement would prove a great convenience to the residents of the locality.
The report was adopted

Thank you Ingrid and Rhonda.
Now I know Thomas and Margaret did go to Hobart and I didn't have the Scoles children.I don't have Ancestry subscription at the moment but I'll ask a cousin to look up the immigration records.

They are in the Tasmanian Archives Database.http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/guides/list/bg024
A few Scoles arrived in unassisted immigation into Victoria - have you search these records thru Vic Prov Records?
Have you thought about possible convict arrival?
Good luck
